A further object of this invention is to provide a bucket or pail 4closed at itsupper end by an integral `Wall having formed thereon an outlet spout to which is secured a removable strainer for the purpose of straining the milk When ,dispensing the same from the bucket or receptacle.

numeral 1 indicates a pail or bucket having in the top thereof, av fijnste-circular opening 2 surrounded by an vupstand'ing flange 3. The remaining portion l being closed by which is formed an outlet spout 5 iounted thereon a removable band 6 carryingfa strainer 7. The band '6 has an, eXtension 8 formed thereon providing a spout to facilitate the dispensing of milk fromthe pail i into another receptacle having a comparatively small inlet port,f(not shown)-` Fabric or the like l0 is placed over theupstanding flange having by a frusto-circular hoop ll, one end l of which is bent upon itself at several intervals to form lugs l2 any one of which are adapted 13 formed uponthe ll may be adjustably secured about the upstanding flange 3 to tightly secure the fabric l()L over the opening 2.

of the top `of the pail4 an integral Wall l in 3 and entirely covering they o renin@ 2 and is secured "u )on the lanoe 3 .l E7 C In operation, when milking' a cow, the` milk isdirected upon the fabric l0 and passes` therethrough becoming thoroughly strained into the pail 1,' when desiringto empty the pail l, the milk is poured outwardly through the spout 5 through the strainer Tinto another receptacle, thereby straining the milk again. Thus it will be seen that a milk pail has been provided whereby the milk Will be strained prior to entering the pail and will again be strainedV when dispensed therefrom. This type of milk pail affords avery sanitary one, which will preventv any danger of the milk being infected by dirt or any foreignvrnatter.
